Just building vala-0.42.0 and found graphviz is a required dep, not

"No package 'libgvc' found" Unless there is a work around for this.
You probably should install graphviz.
There was some discussion on this recently, initiated by Ken. Ken
found a workaround for the sed, I think it was increasing the values
by 7 lines? That was the original reason why it was recommended.
My only problem with this is that I have to tweak it every release,
and the number is always different. That being said, I can enlist
someone else's help every time it comes out with a new minor version
as well.
For reference, Vala needs graphviz for the valadoc command.
Then shouldn't be changed to required instaed of recommended
We should be able to disable valadoc during the build. Most of our
users don't need it.
I have not built the latest, but for version 0.40.8 I used
sed -i '115d; 121,137d; 139,140d' configure.ac &&
sed -i '/valadoc/d' Makefile.am &&
ACLOCAL= autoreconf -fiv
For the editors, figuring out those line numbers is a bit of a pain, but
I think it is a service to the users.
I have used doxygen when I was doing development work and that needed a
full graphviz, so I tend to want to build all optional graphviz
dependencies, That does make graphviz a pain. If possible, I prefer
to allow users to opt out of documentation that they are not interested
in.
The bottom line is that I would prefer to modify the build and make
valadoc (and graphviz) optional and not recommended.
